SASH 'rAsTEnER.

Applicatidn'filed June 2, 1926. Serial No. 113,294. r

An object of my invcl'ition is to provide a sash fastener which can be placed in position in a sash with a mininunn of effort and which is inconspicuous when in place.

rinother object is to provide a sash fastenor which is simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture.

other objects, advantages and features of invention may appear in the accompanying drawing, the subjoineddetailed description and. the appended claims.

In the drawing illustrating my invention,

Fig. l, a side elevation of my fastener in position on a window sash. Y

Fig. 2, is a sectional view on line 22 Fig.1.

Fig. 3, is a side elevation of the fastening pin.

Fig. 4:, is a side -elevation of the fastening pin taken 180 from Fig. 3.

Fig. 5, is a side elevation of my lock. Referring more particularly. to the drawing: 1

lVIy' fastener a is adapted'to be mounted in the face of the sash 1, of the upper window pane, in such a position that the top of the lower sash 2 will engage it. The fastener comprises a tubular body 3, which fits into a bore 4 in the sash 1, the front edge'of said body being flush, or nearly so, with the face of the sash.

V A fastening pin 5 is positioned in the tube 3, and is adapted to be held either flush with the front face of said tube in unlocked position, or projecting from said tube to prevent relative movement of the window.

sashes.

A spring 6 in the tube 3 bears against the pin 5 to urge said pin forwardy. An annular groove 7 is provided in the pin 5. adjacent the frontedge thereof, and a second annular groove 8 is formed adjacent the rear of the pin. I

A stop lug 9 is formed in the tube 3 adjacent the front thereof by indenting the wall thereof with a suitable tool. This lug rides in the groove 7 or 8 and holds the pin 5 in either retracted or extended position.

A groove 10 is formed in the pin 5 connecting the annular grooves 7, 8 the object of which is to enable the pin to be moved to looking or unlocking position, by alining said groove 10 with the lug 9, and permitting said lug to pass from' one groove to the other.

When it is desired to remove the pin 5,

thegrooveS is brought into registry with 15 the lug 9. A notch 11. extends into the grooveS from the rear of the pin. and by registering said notch with the lug 9 the pin is removed from the tube 3. The spring 6 urges the pin 5 outwardly "to facilitate its movemem to locking position or removal from-the tube 3.

A. tip 12 is punched outwardly from the tube 3 which is adapted'to extend into the wood of-the sash and thus prevent rotation of the tube. a I 1.

The pin 5 is rotated when it is desired to. move the groove 10 into or out of alinement with the lug 9 by inserting a tool, coin or the like into a notch 5 provided. in the outer face of said pin.

The fastener may be positioned at any point inthe sash to give the desired window opening. When the pin 5 is positioned within the tube 8 and held by the lug 9 in the groove 7, the outer face thereof is flush with the face of the sash, thus .permitting relative. movement of the upper and lower window sash.

Having described my invention I claim:

1. A sash fastener comprising a tubular body adapted to be embedded in the sash, a pin in said body having a pair of annular grooves therein, and a lugon said body extending into either of said grooves to hold said pin in extended or retracted position.

2. A sash fastener comprising a tubular body adapted to be embedded in the sash,

a pin in said body having a pair of annular,

grooves therein, and a lug on said body extending into either of said grooves to holdsaid pin in extended or retracted position said pin having a groove connecting said annular grooves through which said lug passes when moving the pin to extended or retracted position.

3. A sash fastener comprising a tubular body adapted to be embedded in the sash, a pin in said body having a pair of annular grooves therein, and a lug on said bodyextending into either ofsaid grooves to hold 'saidpin in extended or retracted position said pin having a groove connecting said annular grooves through which saidlug passes when movlng the pin to extended or retracted position, and said. pin having a notch extending from one of said annular grooves to the rear ofsaid pin, said lug being adapted to pass through the notch when removing the pin. 7

4-. A sash fastener comprising a tubular body adapted to be embedded in the sash, a pin in said body having a pair of annular grooves therein, and a lug on said body extending into either of said grooves to hold said pin in extended or retracted position said pin having a groove connecting said annular grooves through Which said lugpasses When moving the pin to extended or retracted position, and said pin having a notch extending from one of said annular grooves to the rear of said pin, said lug being adapted to pass through the notch. when removing the pin, a coil springin said body, engaging said pin to urge the same forwardly, and a tip extending from said body into the sash, to prevent rotation of the body.

In testnnony whereof I afiix my signature.
